C30 T5 Auto 140,000 miles 2007 Reg
Sadly selling my C30 T5 due to requiring another engine
Spend about £3,600 on it this year all work done was at a main dealer This year at end of January it has had front suspension OSF bottom ball joint boot, link arm NSF anti roll bar link boot Rear suspension two top mounts and offside rear anti roll bar link Two brake disc's and pads Fuel rail pressure sensor This bill was £1265.81 In May another huge bill £952.75 Work done Offside rear coil spring and rear springs Two new front tyres CEM wiring terminals And a battery Then in September another £1400.32 spent on it A thermostat kit Rear brake discs and pads Offside front ABS sensor Electric fan and coolant cap So basically after getting the car home end of September it sat in my garage for 3 weeks went out one day to get shopping and it started making strange noises and smoke pouring from the engine it cut out and wouldn't start again it was recovered to local Volvo dealer They did checks on it and told me cylinder head gasket was gone but upon further investigation the values in cylinder 3 and 4 had been washed by water from leaking gasket, the inlet valve guide has dropped out of place and there this wear in the piston crowns The car is currently sitting at Cleland Volvo in Galashiels Scottish Borders and will need trailered away Car is an 07 plate with approx 140,000 miles Open to sensible offers

Would really like this to go to someone to put back onto the road
If no takers it will have to go the scrap dealer

Sorry to hear your tale of woe, 'sheree850r'. Could you not break the car as a last resort to recover the cost of the new components fitted?
Regards, John.

I can't break the car wouldn't know where to start also it's currently sitting at a Volvo main dealer don't think they would take kindly to a car getting stripped on their premises
Might just have to get a breaker to uplift it it's such a shame :-(

How much is a salvage T-5 engine refitted? Is that not an avenue to look into?

Yes we did think about that it will probably cost between £1400 to £1700 for one then there's the cost to fit it which will probably be the same again
Really sad it's come to this as it's a cracking wee motor

You could pick up a salvage Focus St for less than £1700 and use it just for the engine.

Thing is, it's a project for someone (and their mate) who are handy with the spanners - that's pretty much the only way it makes sense, I think.
